• They’ve certainly had more success with their universal derailleur mount than Shimano have had with their direct mount, and certainly had a better strategy.

    I feel like they’re angling for a sustainability angle here with a mount that if you crash and hit your calliper it won’t write off your frame.

    I guess we’ll see what happens but they’ve certainly got a fair old share of the top end of the MTB market with their AXS system. Where is Shimano Di2 now?

  • I think they’re still making XT and XTR Di2 but I can’t remember the last time I saw a bike with it on.
    Pinkbike’s photo’s from the XC World Cup haven’t shown any pro bikes with it on in at least a couple of years from what I remember.
    AXS seems to have taken over the ,Arles completely for electric MTB gears and I’m not sure Shimano can come back against that.

  • I wouldn't be surprised if it comes back in a ebike variant so it can be run off the single battery. My experience of Di2 is it works really well, but I wouldn't want to wire it up, and AXS has all the advantages without the wiring.
